摘要

这篇文章的重点是在十九世纪下半叶的维多利亚时代的英国，各种各样的灵性的扩散，包括通神论、新异教、唯心论和新兴的神秘实践。书中指出，这种精神思想的扩散并非与达尔文主义之后的科学自然主义框架的优势相对立，而是与之和谐一致。书中还指出，“精神”作为一个概念的灵活性，对于理解维多利亚时代晚期的宗教景观起着至关重要的作用。作为一个(非常简短的)案例研究，它考察了玛丽·科雷利在维多利亚时代晚期的畅销书《两个世界的浪漫》(1886)中精神和科学的融合。我认为，她的作品突出了新兴的流行投机小说类型在探索精神与物质之间界限方面的关键作用。

Spirituality

This essay focuses on the proliferation of diverse spiritualities in Victorian Britain in the second half of the nineteenth century, including Theosophy, neopaganism, spiritualism, and emerging occult practices. It makes the case that this proliferation of spiritual thought emerged not in opposition to, but rather in harmony with, the ascendancy of scientific naturalist frameworks in the wake of Darwinism, and that the flexibility of “spirituality” as a concept serves a crucial function for understanding this late Victorian religious landscape. As a (very brief) case study, it examines the fusion of the spiritual and scientific in Marie Corelli's late Victorian bestseller, A Romance of Two Worlds (1886). Her work, I suggest, highlights the key role of new popular genres of speculative fiction in navigating the boundaries between spirit and matter at the fin de siècle.
